We are very pleased to release the first codes of our upcoming massive range for this pivotal war of the Cold War period, in which the Arab Armies (although including Egypt, not technically an Arab country) launched an amazingly successful surprise attack on Israel, leading to a deadly duel in which the Arabs failed to regain the land lost in 1967 but acquitted themselves well all the same. During the course of the war were such legendary struggles as the Valley of Tears and the Chinese Farm, including colossal tank battles involving over 1,000 vehicles.
The range will initially be filled out with infantry and the main armoured fighting vehicles of the armies, and will then be periodically expanded with ancillary vehicles.
As the 40th anniversary of the war will be this October, we thought it only fitting to get the releases underway! First out are the
Syrian infantry, two codes to permit you to field squads of these soldiers.
The first code contains seven unique poses of infantry riflemen with the AKM, seen above.
Above is the infantry command and squad heavy weapons code -- NCOs with AKMs, troopers carrying the RPG-7, and light machine gunners with RPD, still the dominant LMG in the Arab armies.
A squad had an NCO with an AKM, one RPG-7, one RPD, and seven AKMs, so two packs of riflemen and one pack of command and weapons will yield two full squads of Syrians.
There's also a preview on the webstore page of the third code of Syrian infantry, with company-level heavy weapons (including the dreaded "Suitcase Sagger" ATGM which devestated Israeli tank formations), and also a preview of the very-soon-to-be-released T-62 and T-55 tanks! Here's a peek at a T-62, painted as a Syrian vehicle:
Egyptian and Israeli infantry have been sculpted as well and are in the process of mouldmaking, casting and painting, and should be released in October.
Mike Broadbent has really brought the infantry to life, and we are extremely pleased with the armoured vehicles as well.
The Syrian infantry codes are available now, at the link below. Happy gaming!
